I've seen this in forum at highly rated without a fave and i so much enjoy this that i want to make it my fave but i don't want to push you out of that category. i would also think that a larger shadow would have helped so much here

The confluence(?) of biker, shadow and sign! But also they make a beautifully composed triad, each of such different substance and colour - red white and black, very special.

Very clever perspective. Seems a bit motion-blurred though.

Great angle. The shadow and the biker paint symbol really make this shot.

Interesting idea, I like how you combined the three cyclist images. The light is very harsh, though you would have to think carefully about your lighting to keep the shadow as it is.

excelent viewpoint and good timing (or luck) to catch the rider on top of the painted sign.

Very very nice job staking out and waiting (I assume) for the perfect opportunity.

A really cool view. You must have been on a bridge to get directly above him like this.

I love the trio... well thought out and original. Very simple and nice composition. The ground the rider is on is very busy and distracting though.
